Not really seen much of the guy so will be interested to see what he can do.


Personally I would have liked us to go for Koscielny - quality player.
 
Demichelis is a no brainier for me comes with a vast amount of experiance and knows pelli's system.

His age will dictact that he may be more cover than straight into first team football but a very welcomed signing imho and may just surprise us.

Who the hell started this bullshit rumour about Demichelis' pace being slow?!

Are you absolutely blind... you don't even have to have watched him for a season to know the man has a really good pace on him...

Watch the vimeo vid a blue posted on here about 5 pages back and you will see the majority of his tackles/interceptions were when the opposition was on the counter...

He even match Ronaldo for pace over the first 10 yards on one of the clips...

I think most blues on here want a big name defender and don't realise this defender is seriously top end with CL experience, named in the La Liga 1st XI team, undestands how Pellegrini works and what h wants in defense not forgetting that he is Argentinian should settle pretty quickly within with the Spanish speaking lads and given he is Argie is no doubt a hard b*stard as well...

Exactly what we need in place of Vinny and at times possibly with Vinny giving out defense a rock solid foundation...

Missing Pepe and getting Demichelis is a blessing in disguise...

Somebody please post that link of Demichelis anytime someone whines "but he has no pace" PLUS, the lad can read the game very well (which can be seen with his multiple interceptions) and will prove very important in the UCL games as well the PL... good signing!

Not seen much of him but at the end of the day he must be a big step up from Lescott.
You dont get in the La liga team of the year for nothing, and if it means no more having to watch Lescott and is little two foot shuffle he does every time the ball comes to him Im happy.

Martin Demichelis has joined City from Atletico Madrid.

The 32-year old defender has signed a two-year contract and will wear the No.26 shirt this season.

This will be the third occasion 37-times capped Argentina international has played under Manuel Pellegrini with the pair working together previously at both River Plate and Malaga.

"I am delighted to have joined City because I am still hungry for success and want to improve," said Demichelis.

"I have been in Europe for 11 years now and this was a great chance for me to play in the Premier League with such a big club.

"When there is a change, there is always a process. There’s always a period of adjustment you have to go through. Moving from South America to Europe is a big change and you need some time to settle in because everything is new.

"But in my case, I have lived in Europe for many years and I don’t think there’ll be any problems in adjusting to life here. Now I want to repay the manager's faith in me out on the pitch. I can't wait to get started."

Dem

Demichelis left Malaga in the summer and signed for Atletico Madrid, but the chance to play for City proved too great to resist for a player who has a wealth of Champions League experience, mostly gained during a stay with Bayern Munich where he made more than 200 appearances between 2003 and 2010.

During the course of this seven-year spell, Demichelis won four Bundesliga titles, four German cups and two German League cups.
